POETRY CONTESTby Keith Bartholomew
A small child wanders alone,
searching the unknown,
for clues to find Happiness.
Paths marked with false promises,
dead ends and changing definitions
supply bewilderment, confusion and emptiness.
Elusively evading, undefined and enigmatic,
it offers glimpses, hints and teases of truth,
fueling the need to continue.
Almost imperceptible at times, tiny voices
whisper in the mind of meaning,
directions and guidance along the venue.
Looking outward, the child grasps
at others who journey the emptiness,
hoping joy will ensue.
It cannot be seized, captured or taken
from without and the adolescent learns
looking inward provides a clearer view.
Inside the mind and heart
a small light glimmers to life,
warming and Happiness begins its debut.
Nurtured only from within,
holding hope, peace and goodness
the twinkle starts to renew.
Warily at first and with great trepidation,
this radiant flicker passed to others
illuminates and comfort a few.
In some the glimmer grows to fire,
others die from misdirection,
neglect, selfishness, and misconstrue.
The adult learns from trials and tribulations,
love given cultivates the glow,
causing it to develop to a stunning hue.
Some burn intense and dazzling,
shooting beams of energy,
lighting the dark empty black and blue.
Others waver, sputtering aimlessly
as the child’s soul searches in vain
for meaning to luck into.
Blessed are the few, who grow
and learn Happiness
can only be found within you.
